Connect bridges between islands to form one interconnecting path! Hashi are addictive bridge-connecting puzzles which were invented in Japan. Using pure logic and requiring no math to solve, these fascinating puzzles offer endless fun and intellectual entertainment to puzzle fans of all skills and ages. Each puzzle is based on a rectangular arrangement of circles, where each circle represents an island and the number in each island tells how many bridges are connected to it. The object is to connect all islands according to the number of bridges so that there are no more than two bridges in the same direction and all bridges are interconnected enabling passage from any island to another. To create a bridge simply swipe your fingertip between two islands. The game also features highlighting options, helping see in which directions bridges are allowed and whether an island segment is about to become isolated. To help see the puzzle progress, graphic previews in the puzzle list show the progress of all puzzles in a volume as they are being solved. A Gallery view option provides these previews in a larger format. For more fun, Hashi contains no ads and includes a Weekly Bonus section providing an extra free puzzle each week.

Induction
Read full descriptionHide full description
Somewhere inside the box, lodestones are hiding. You can't see them. You can only fire probes into the machine and watch what comes out. A beam that flies straight through? Nothing in its path. A beam that never comes out? A direct hit. A beam that exits somewhere unexpected? Now you're getting somewhere. Every deflection is a clue! Induction is a pure logic deduction game in the tradition of the classic Black Box puzzle: a hidden grid, a limited set of probes, and everything solvable by reasoning alone. No luck, no timers, no move-matching. If you love Minesweeper, nonograms, or picross-style deduction, this is that same "aha!" — with beams. HOW IT PLAYS • Fire probes into the edges of a hidden grid • Read the results: hits, deflections, reflections, pass-throughs • Mark your deductions in the grid until you're certain • Seal your answer. Clean solves and streaks are tracked. WHAT'S INSIDE • Over 1,000 hand-tuned puzzles across notebook collections, from gentle on-ramp to expert codex • A new Daily Challenge every day. The same puzzle for everyone, and streaks to keep • A tutorial that teaches by demonstration, not walls of text • Beautiful vintage-laboratory notebook style PLAYS ANYWHERE • Fully playable offline (commutes, flights, dead zones) • No account required. Sign in with Google or Apple only if you want your progress backed up or synced across devices • Progress backup and cloud sync when signed in FAIR & FOCUSED • Free, supported by ads; rewarded ads are always your choice • No pay-to-win, no energy systems, no consumable nonsense • Your brain is the only power-up From Connexus Digital, the makers of Connexus Puzzles. Charge the coils. Fire the probe. Find what's hiding.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Induction at none against Hashi's 15. Induction also leads on update cadence (every 2 days vs every 4 months). Hashi's advantage is ads (none vs shown). On price, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
